Bill Cassidy (R) is urging more Republicans to support the bipartisan infrastructure bill.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Friday, Cassidy said he was frustrated with House Republicans who have been split on the matter of supporting the bill. He argued supporting the bill would \u201ctake away the leverage of the progressive caucus\u201d as Democrats are attempting to tie the infrastructure bill to the bloated reconciliation package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great bill for all Americans, whatever your political party. It does seem like politics are trumping the needs of the American people,\u201d said Cassidy. \u201cSo if we pass this, it\u2019s going to be great for our country, create a lot of jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy stressed passing the infrastructure bill would help boost America\u2019s economy by creating a lot of jobs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;If House Republicans decided to support this bill, they would take away the leverage of the Progressive Caucus. Because they have decided not to, the Progressives have incredible amount of leverage and they&#8217;re the ones trying to force linkage with the reconciliation bill.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e9y7nzoCBL\">pic.twitter.com\/e9y7nzoCBL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SquawkCNBC\/status\/1448985803770707968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-pays-tribute-to-americas-fallen-officers\/\">Biden Pays Tribute To America\u2019s Fallen Officers<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 OCTOBER 07: Sen.
